Description-en: TCP port scanner
MASSCAN is TCP port scanner which transmits SYN packets
asynchronously and produces results similar to nmap,
the most famous port scanner. Internally, it operates
more like scanrand, unicornscan, and ZMap, using
asynchronous transmission.
It's a flexible utility that allows arbitrary address and
port ranges.
